Question

Which of the following fraction(s) is/are a pair of unlike fractions?

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$
• C. $\frac{1}{7}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$ and $\frac{3}{6}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$
C $\frac{1}{7}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

For $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$, the denominators are different, hence they are unlike fractions.

For $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$, the denominators are the same, hence they are like fractions.

For $\frac{1}{7}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$, the denominators are different, hence they are unlike fractions.

For $\frac{1}{6}$ and $\frac{3}{6}$, the denominators are the same, hence they are like fractions.
